A seated elderly sannyasi in saffron-orange cloth draped over the shoulder and body, with a gold-bordered orange lower garment. He wears a tiered crown-like band of rudraksha beads on the head, a white forehead marking with a red bindi, multiple long rudraksha malas and an ornate gold pendant necklace, gold earrings, and rings and bangles. He holds a small mobile phone in his raised right hand while speaking. Before him are several news microphones bearing logos of GTV, Jaya TV, Sun News and Captain TV. Behind him stands a gold-embossed and gold-carved throne or backdrop with lion-shaped gilded ornamentation at left. The setting appears to be a press interaction at a temple-style hall.
